Genotyping and Whole-Genome Resequencing of Welsh Sheep Breeds Reveal Candidate Genes and Variants for Adaptation to Local Environment and Socioeconomic Traits (2021)
Journal Article
Sweet-Jones, J., Lenis, V. P., Yurchenko, A. A., Yudin, N. S., Swain, M., & Larkin, D. M. (2021). Genotyping and Whole-Genome Resequencing of Welsh Sheep Breeds Reveal Candidate Genes and Variants for Adaptation to Local Environment and Socioeconomic Traits. Frontiers in Genetics, 12, https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2021.612492

Background: Advances in genetic tools applied to livestock breeding has prompted research into the previously neglected breeds adapted to harsh local environments. One such group is the Welsh mountain sheep breeds, which can be farmed at altitudes of...

Demographic History, Adaptation, and NRAP Convergent Evolution at Amino Acid Residue 100 in the World Northernmost Cattle from Siberia (2021)
Journal Article
Buggiotti, L., Yurchenko, A. A., Yudin, N. S., Jagt, C. J. V., Vorobieva, N. V., Kusliy, M. F., …Larkin, D. M. (2021). Demographic History, Adaptation, and NRAP Convergent Evolution at Amino Acid Residue 100 in the World Northernmost Cattle from Siberia. Molecular Biology and Evolution,

Native cattle breeds represent an important cultural heritage. They are a reservoir of genetic variation useful for properly responding to agriculture needs in the light of ongoing climate changes. Evolutionary processes that occur in response to ext...
